NHTSA Complaint #702152 — 1995 DODGE NEON

THE CURRENT OWNER WAS DRIVING THE CAR TO WORK AFTER DROPPING THE BABY OFF AT THE BABY SITTERS. SHE HAD JUST GOTTEN ON THE FREEWAY AND WAS ACCELERATING TO CRUSING SPEED WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND SHE COULD NOT STEER THE CAR. THE VEHICLE VEERED TO THE RIGHT AND RAN OVER THE CURBING ALONG THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. THIS THE SECOND TIME THE STEERING HAS LOCKED UP SINCE SHE PURCHASED THE CAR. WHEN SHE HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED OUT, THEY COULD NOT SEE FIGURE OUT WHAT CAUSED THE WHEEL TO LOCK UP. SHE THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE UNTIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN THIS TIME. THE MANUFACTURER HAS ALREADY LOOKED AT THE CAR AN DENIED ANY LIABILITY. THIS IS AN 18 YEAR OLD SINGLE PARENT WITH NO MONEY AND NO TRANSPORTATION TO WORK, NOW. SHE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP SHE CAN GET, ESPECIALLY SINCE THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ALREADY REPORTED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. MY NAME IS LARRY E. JOHNSON. I'M HER GOD FATHER. SHE HAS NO ONE ELSE TO TURN TO. THANK YOU.
